JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
"I know you don't," Juniper said, her voice a bit teasing. "Maybe that will change ..."but it's the easiest thing to do
Should she say that? It was part of the vision Nephele had promised, the Fae reaching out to outsiders, joining their society. But Juniper wasn't sure if she should tell any outsiders that they planned such a thing. Certainly the Fae themselves were not universally agreed on that point. Among certain members of their society, Juniper had found herself even more of a pariah than before she'd accepted Nephele's job offer. It was convenient, she supposed rather cynically, for those who didn't like outsiders to blame the Fae's increasing tolerance on Juniper's bad influence; it let them continue to respect Nephele and Alina.
But of course this outsider wouldn't know or care about Fae politics. Juniper had to shake her head slightly to bring herself back to the present. "Yes, I could have. But I wanted to see the Hollowed Grounds."
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
